Two and a half days later.
At noon, the scorching sun beat down fiercely on the ground, rousing those who loved to sleep in.
The glistening morning dew on the leaves had long been baked dry by the intense heat,and the gentle morning breeze had now transformed into a thick, warm current.
In the luxurious Suite No. 4 occupied by Yuan Longxuan at the top of Tian Xiang Hotel in Heaven Dou City...
Yuan Longxuan had already donned his flowing golden robes.
The reason was to take Zhu Qing to obtain her third spirit ring... Ahem... Actually, it was just a small excuse to prevent Tang San from absorbing that Man-Faced Demon Spider's spirit ring and spirit bone.
Using the system's detection card, Yuan Longxuan had tested Zhu Qing's physique. Currently, she could absorb a spirit ring from a spirit beast below approximately 3,300 years old.
This was one of the gains from having them practice that Yoga Art recently...it broadened their meridians and enhanced their endurance.
(Don't ask why they need to go to the Star Dou Great Forest when there are God-Bestowed Spirit Rings.
The answer is simply that it's an excuse to kill that Man-Faced Demon Spider and not leave it for Tang San, while also pushing the plot forward a bit.)
Looking back at the three women—Xiao Wu and the others...still unconscious on the bed, Yuan Longxuan felt a wave of helplessness.
A Title Douluo and two Spirit Elders actually dared to challenge the dignity of him, a Limit Douluo... Who knew how infuriating the scene was two days ago when he showed them mercy, only for Xiao Wu to lead the charge in arrogance
At a post station one hundred miles outside the Star Dou Great Forest.
Taking his time flying with Zhu Qing, Yuan Longxuan finally arrived here just before evening.
If his guesses were correct, he would soon meet the members of that Shrek Academy, the ones with the motto "Those who don't dare to cause trouble are mediocrities."
However, Yuan Longxuan was curious. Currently, Shrek only had four original members (Tang San, Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun).
Where were they going to find the other three members? Could it be that Shrek Academy would disband before it even properly started?
"Big Brother Longxuan, today we..." At this moment, Zhu Qing, standing behind Yuan Longxuan, tugged lightly at his sleeve.
It was clear from her expression that she was still somewhat nervous.
"Yes, we'll rest here for the night today. Tomorrow, I'll take you to hunt for your spirit ring."
Yuan Longxuan was very fond of this little kitten, Zhu Qing.
She was calm, resolute, and knowing her talent wasn't top-tier, she put in several times the effort of others to keep up with their progress.
One must know that in the original work, the hardest worker among the Shrek Seven Devils was Zhu Qing.
But without the boost of immortal herbs, aside from Tang San, the one most likely to become a god was Oscar.
After all, a先天满魂力 (Innate Full Spirit Power) Food System Spirit Master was no joke.
Of course, that had nothing to do with Yuan Longxuan. He wouldn't nurture an unstable factor, especially a male one.
Gurgle...
A low rumble came from Zhu Qing's stomach. Her face flushed slightly as she lowered her head, seemingly trying to ease the embarrassment.
"Hmm? Hungry? I'll take you to get dinner." Yuan Longxuan gently patted Zhu Qing's little head, then led this little black cat to the largest restaurant in the area.
The restaurant seemed to have weathered many storms; the wooden walls were somewhat mottled, and a few tiles were missing from the side.
Yet, despite its seemingly dilapidated appearance, it was quite crowded inside, and the establishment also provided lodging services.
Judging by the patrons' attire, Yuan Longxuan guessed most were spirit hunters here to kill spirit beasts for rings or to sell bones and meat to supplement their income.
A few simple tables and chairs were also placed outside the entrance, seemingly for those who preferred the cooler evening air while drinking.
Inside, the layout was simple. The outer area had basic wooden tables and chairs, while the spots near the windows, further in, were better equipped with solid wood chairs with soft cushions and more refined-looking tables and utensils.
The cashier counter was just a long bar, behind which stood various wine jars
One could say the owner of this shop knew the principle of "save where you should, spend where you must."
"Boss, bring us all your signature dishes. And also, get me two upper rooms.
" Yuan Longxuan casually tossed a bag containing a thousand gold spirit coins onto the counter before the waiter, whose eyes fixated on the large bag, unable to look away.
"Yes! Yes, yes! Honored guests, please, take a seat first!" The waiter responsible for payments immediately came out from behind the counter, his face piled with smiles as he led Yuan Longxuan and Zhu Qing to the best and quietest spot on the first floor.
However, when he saw Zhu Qing beside Yuan Longxuan, his dark eyes rolled thoughtfully in their sockets.
Honored guest, your dishes will be right out. However..." The waiter pretentiously looked back at the fully occupied room.
"...We only have one upper room left. All the other rooms have already been rented out. What do you think..."
Hearing this classic line from the waiter, Yuan Longxuan thought, 'Kid, you've got good perception.
You're destined for great things!'
"Only one room? But there are two of us..." Before Yuan Longxuan could finish, the waiter quickly interjected.
Honored guest, rest assured! Our upper rooms are very spacious, fully equipped with all facilities.
It's absolutely no problem even for three or four people to sleep there at the same time
